And Yet I …

Two from The Department of "I'm Probably the Last Person on the Planet To Have Noticed This, But Here Goes Anyway":

1. If you highlight some text while surfing with Firefox, and then right-click, one of the options on the context menu is "Search <engine> for <text>," where <engine> is whatever search engine you have set in the navigation toolbar, and <text> is whatever text you just highlighted.

How long has this been going on? (In my own defense, I am slavishly devoted to keyboard shortcuts, so it's not like I actually get to see the context menu all that often. In this context.)

2. Do you know The Defective Yeti? Here are a couple of three lines from recent posts …

This game is to free time what whales are to krill. (source)

The 2008 presidential race is as engrossing as "Mile two" of the Boston Marathon. (source)

A Google search indicates that no one has ever formed a heavy metal Christian band called "BC/AD." (source)

… and two quick posts that must be read in their entirety: Fool And His Money and Will Wonders Never Cease?.

Bookmark or subscribe. But keep track of the Yeti.
